If I should Laugh
By ANNE CAMPBELL

If I should laugh with joyousness,
When morning comes again,
It would not mean, I must confess,
The end of grief and pain.

If I should laugh with happy eyes,
And joyous heart and light,
It would not mean that woman-
wise,
I shall cry tonight!

If I should laugh, as laugh I will
Until the rafters ring,
You know, my love, who loves me
still,
It does not mean a thing!
